I kinda like what wow has where you fill out a survey, and at the end they ask "do you really want to make the peon cry" a couple times. Any rate good luck OP there's still quite a few mmo's out there (tera, bns, bdo come to mind), and I'm sure there's at least one launching this year or next. Best thing about gaming is that you can take breaks but it'll still be there.

Lmao, I remember that.

Yeah, there is one Bless Online that's releasing next month.

Honestly, if you're tired of SE's current formula, then I would recommend to never touch another MMO. Every MMO out there is basically an EverQuest clone. The formula hasn't been changed since the inception of MMOs over 20 years ago.

Really? The formulae is very much different than it was 20 years ago even on the most fundamental of levels.

In virtually every old school mmo for example the game revolved around the world or universe in which it was set. In virtually every modern one the game revolves entirely around the player. That one fundamental difference changes everything else entirely. And is why many players of ffxiv often complain eorzea is shalloe dead and lifeless.

It's also why when people talk about old school elements or endgame ideas they'd like to bring into xiv or such players often come out and say such an archaic system wouldn't work in modern mmos because things are so different now than they used to be.


The formulae has changed quite considerably over the years. Even the pace. Modern mmos literally throw loot and rewards at you and have you throwing them away every other week.. they're also basically single player games in that you can do pretty much everything with no social connections whatever

Honestly OP... if you came to the forum... you wanted people to talk you back into the game.

So I will attempt to do so. XIV just like FFXI. Has never been just about straight content grind. Its about the social bonds you made within the server itself.. if you didnt feel that in your home... come to me in Hyperion and Ill show you what social fun can be about along with a mix of other games too. Thats what my community does. We play XIV but we do login together on other things. (We are right now at this moment looking at that Halo 3 PC thing to try)

Amen ^^ , take this offer

Bless Online is more like a re-release. I wonder if it will be another FFXIV:ARR.

It's a re-vamp. Chechk out this vid. So far the best one even if it is subjective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xWbkV68bK0
